Lake Balaton Day Trip

Budapest might be the most popular destination in Hungary but that doesn’t mean its countryside has nothing to offer. As the years go by, more and more travelers venture out of the Hungarian capital to explore vineyards, beautiful landscapes and great food. There is, luckily, one region where you will get all three and more: Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe. Not only a summer vacation spot for many locals and fellow Europeans, but also the perfect place to experience the warmth of Hungarian hospitality and immerse in the rural life far from the hustle and bustle of the cities. It’s not all culinary pleasures though — Balaton boasts some of the most ancient buildings in Hungary dating back to the early middle ages: Tihany Abbey for example, the still functioning Benedictine monastery that will allow you a peek into the lives of medieval kings & queens.
From Tuesday to Saturday you will also be able to visit the world famous Herend Porcelain Manufactory where some of the most beautiful pieces of porcelain is made this is also a great places to do some souvenir shopping.
On our Balaton day trip you will get to discover the highlights of this region, taste its wines and maybe even have a dip in the lake while you’re there!
